What are Nuclear Submarines? Nuclear submarines are simply submarines powered by nuclear reactors. Traditional submarines can only be submerged underwater for few days at a slow speed and hours at a faster speed. Traditional submarines also use diesel engines which need air for being above water battery-powered motors for moving below it. Since nuclear submarines Read More…
